QT tank is the best idea. I had a recent ich problem and after doing alot of reading on here this is what I came up with and it worked quite well for my situation. I spent over $100 on "reef-safe" ich treatments in my main tank at first and nothing happened at all. But...I was able to save 3 fish with the cheapo hospital tank in the pic. I used a 15G cheapo tank, a cheapo lid with 2 25 watt lights, a HOB aqua-clear filter, a spare heater, a spare powerhead, some cut-up PVC pipe for hiding places, a tall tupperware container filled with mature bio balls from my display tanks sump, and went to treating with a copper based treatment. You could also try hyposalinity first but that didn't work for me either. All 3 fish are now cured and doing well however they are still in the QT tank while I wait out the ich bloom in the display tank. I am going to give it 2-3 months total before beginning to re-introduce the fish into the main tank. This little QT tank would be a good idea for using to QT fish before putting into your display tank from now on and can be emptied and stored in a closet when not in use. If you have tangs or something larger that needs some more swimming room to not feel stressed, you could always buy a larger (20G long or 29G) QT tank for not much more money. I have about $55-$60 wrapped up in mine and that was more than paid for by the fish I saved and I will definately use it from now in when I purchase any new fish to observe them for a week or two before they go into my main tank. In the pic I have a divider in the center to seperate 2 types of clownfish that would fight in a small tank.
